Credera is excited to announce the release of a new Pure Signal episode: "The Consequences of Playing It Safe with AI."
On this episode
AI projects are falling short across the tech industry and executives are losing their jobs because of it. This episode of Pure Signal explores the reasons behind boards’ new pressures, what CIOs and CEOs can do to right the ship, and how it is possible to balance speed with strategy in regards to AI.
From the early days of AI adoption well through to today, workers everywhere have been worried about if their jobs will be replaced by their computer counterparts. And recently people have been losing their jobs..but not because they’re being replaced. High-profile CIO and CEO departures have been making headlines because they’ve been going too slow in their organization’s AI efforts.
Join Vincent, Jason, and Kevin, as they unpack the rising tension in the C-suite as AI adoption becomes a board-level priority. With only 25% of enterprise AI projects delivering on ROI, companies are reckoning with years of tech debt, siloed systems, and a shortage of generative AI-ready talent. Their conversation dives into how to lead AI transformation from the top without sacrificing security, regulatory standards, or execution speed.
From risk-tolerant innovation and agile delivery to the debate over if titles such as “Chief AI Officer” even mean anything tangible, this episode lays out what forward-leaning organizations are actually doing to win, and why most of them aren’t talking about it publicly.
